Don't burn books you don't agree with, ANC vets urge youth
JOHANNESBURG - The ANC Veterans League has condemned with the contempt it deserves the actions of individuals who disrupted the launch of Pieter-Louis Myburgh’s book Gangster State: Unravelling Ace Magashule’s web of capture.
Zikalala said this atrocious behaviour occurred just prior to the launch of the Oliver Tambo School of Leadership. "As the ANC Veterans League we call on young people to desist from burning or encouraging others to burn books that they do not agree with. We remind young people of the burning of books associated with the fascism and genocide of the 2nd World War. We urge young people to read books, critique books, write books. We urge young people to desist from thuggery and win their arguments by the strength and clarity of their ideas," Zikalala said.
All ANC cadres, starting from the elected leaders, would be compelled to spend some time at the school of leadership to acquire knowledge about the rich history of the struggle and "how we should defend our democracy", he said.
